The NYPD is searching for two young men who allegedly assaulted a cop during Twitch star Kai Cenat’s chaotic PS5 giveaway-turned-riot in Union Square Friday. The department on Tuesday released photos of two males wanted for allegedly hurling construction barrels at a 59-year-old cop, striking him in the head and body at about 3:45 p.m. The officer suffered multiple wounds including a head injury and both ran off. The two suspects are the latest delinquents involved in the massive melee to be wanted by police. On Sunday, cops announced they were looking for eight baby-faced teens caught on camera trashing...

Global oil markets will see a sizable supply deficit this year, as the production cutbacks of major exporters begin to kick in. The world will be short by about 2 million barrels a day in the fourth quarter, more than reversing an expected surplus of 300,000 barrels a day in the second quarter, according to OPEC data cited by Bloomberg. That's after OPEC and non-member partner Russia announced steep cuts to their production. On April 2, OPEC lowered its planned output by 1 million barrels a day, citing protection against price shocks after March's bank turmoil caused a brief drop...

The Department of Energy will purchase 3 million barrels of oil to replace withdrawals from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) amid high energy prices, it announced Friday. The Biden administration presented the purchase, which follows a bidding process that began in October, as an opportunity to buy the oil at a fixed price and repurchase it for less than the average of $96 per barrel it sold for. “Relative to conventional purchase contracts that expose producers to volatile crude prices, this new approach, when used at scale, can give producers the assurance to make investments today, knowing that the price...

Joe Biden is planning to release up to 15million barrels of oil from the US's emergency oil reserves as he tries to stem soaring gasoline prices. The oil release would be the latest portion of a deal Biden struck last spring to release 180million barrels of oil from energy companies. His administration is planning to announce the latest reserve release later this week, according to Bloomberg.

Just 10 miles off the coast of Los Angeles lurks an environmental disaster over 70 years in the making, which few have ever heard about. That is, until now, thanks to the research of a University of California marine scientist named David Valentine. Working with little more than rumors and a hunch, curiosity guided him 3,000 feet below the ocean's surface. A few hours of research time and an autonomous robotic submersible unearthed what had been hidden since the 1940s: countless barrels of toxic waste, laced with DDT, littering the ocean floor in between Long Beach and Catalina Island.

When a bullet is fired, the rifling of the barrel puts a twist on the bullet in order to improve accuracy, increase the distance traveled, and to stabilize the bullet as it moves through the air towards its target. Twist rates are often set up as a ratio, such as 1:14, 1:12, or 1:7, which refers to inches per turn. A twist rate of 1:10 means the bullet will turn one time in 10 inches of the barrel. Rifling was discovered in 15th century Germany and most likely took the science behind arrows, which are fletched in a way that...

Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced Thursday that the U.S. and its partners in the International Energy Agency will release 60 million barrels of oil onto the world market over the next 30 days to offset the disruption in the oil supply caused by unrest in the Middle East. The U.S. will release 30 million barrels of oil from the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The SPR is currently at a historically high level with 727 million barrels, according to the Energy Department. “We are taking this action in response to the ongoing loss of crude oil due to supply disruptions in...

The explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon rig spilled more oil from the Macondo well than anyone guessed, the Washington Post reports. Initially, the Coast Guard estimated a flow rate of 5,000 barrels a day, but the actual rate was at least twelve times that. The well released almost five million barrels through its broken riser pipe, turning it into the worst unintentional oil spill in history: The blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico gushed 12 times faster than the government and BP estimated in the early weeks of the crisis and has spilled a whopping 4.9 million...

August Schell Brewing Company has reached a few milestones in its 147-year history: It survived the Sioux Uprising of 1862, which left the rest of New Ulm in ruins, and even made it through 13 years of Prohibition. On Wednesday, Minnesota's oldest brewery reached another landmark by cranking out its millionth case of beer since Jan. 1. Schell owner and brewmaster Ted Marti, along with some of the brewery's 44 employees, celebrated the landmark case - 24 bottles of Schmaltz's Alt, named after previous owner Warren "Schmaltz" Marti - Wednesday with a ceremony and pub crawl through town.

London 26.08.05 | One of the perks of having acquaintances in London's oil trading circles is that one can check whether the BS spitted by the MSM has got any relation with reality. As it often happens nowadays with issues such as oil, Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, PDVSA, China and so on the findings are shocking. Venezuela is reportedly selling 68.000 BPD to China -or a 2.000.000 barrels-tanker/month, however the Bolivarian revolutionaries fail to say that the cargos aren't reaching China but the Gulf Coast. Hugo Chavez offered Ecuador, illegally as ever, some 500.000 barrels of Boscan oil. However the Ecuadorans,...

BAGHDAD, Iraq (Army News Service, Aug. 19, 2005) — For a couple of hours, laughter rang out in the midst of the combat zone in Baghdad. The “Comics on Duty World Tour” brought four comedians to the dining facility at Camp Tigerland Aug. 12.

In the nine days the comics were in the area, they performed 17 shows. They touched on the funnier side of military life in a combat zone,...

Some 22 billion barrels of stranded oil could be recovered from onshore California -- including mature fields in the Kern County area -- with the application of carbon dioxide technologies. This is according to a series of reports the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy released Wednesday. Nationwide, the reports indicate there is potential to recover more than 43 billion barrels of oil from stranded oil resources in six regions using the latest CO2 enhanced oil recovery techniques. The regions include onshore Gulf Coast, offshore Louisiana, Oklahoma, Alaska, Illinois and onshore California. According to the Office of Fossil...

On Tax Day, CAGW Mourns Loss of Tax Dollars (Washington, D.C.) - Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) observes Tax Day 2005 by mourning the loss of billions of dollars to congressional pork and by calling attention to the waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal budget. “It’s that time of year again,” CAGW President Tom Schatz said. “The time of year where Americans are forced to shell out exorbitant sums of money to fund inefficient and inept government programs.” Just in time for Tax Day, CAGW last week released the 2005 Congressional Pig Book which compiles the wasteful pet projects...

Rage over rising gasoline prices and increased oil imports should be directed at Bill Clinton and Senate Democrats. Had Bill Clinton not vetoed the 1995 budget, oil from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would now be providing nearly a million barrels per day to American markets--about the same amount we are importing from Saudi Arabia. In every Congress since 1995, Senate Democrats have killed every effort to utilize our own oil reserves. Finally, by the narrowest of votes (51-49), Senate Republicans passed the ANWR resolution which will not be vetoed by President Bush. Still, it will take another decade to...

Iraq oil output tops 1m barrels By Adam Jay (Filed: 28/07/2003) Iraq's oil production has risen to more than a million barrels a day, it emerged yesterday, as the country signed new crude export contracts with foreign oil companies, mainly from the US.

United States officials compiling an inventory of a looted Iraqi nuclear site found more radioactive material than they expected, Pentagon officials said Thursday.It is unclear whether the discovery means the American's information was wrong or Iraqis had moved material to the Tuwaitha site before the war, said three top military and defense officials who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity.The officials didnt say how much material they expected to be at Tuwaitha or how much more they found.They said they could not determine if any radioactive material had been stolen from the storage site about 30 miles southeast of Baghdad....
